Artificial Intelligence May Be Just Code, But It's Our Code

There's nothing magical about artificial intelligence, it's simply code designed by fallible humans using fallible data. The magic comes from the humans working with or seeing the benefits of AI. So the questions are: are we expecting too much from AI? Too what extent should companies and their executives rely on the output delivered by AI? This was the subject of debate at a panel hosted at AI Summit in New York, held in early December, focusing on risks in the emerging role of AI in the financial services sector, but the discussion had wide-ranging implications across all industries. "We think AI is telling us something, but it's not," cautioned Rod Butters, chief technology officer for Aible.
